Date and time
NASA has released the potential launch dates and times for the Artemis II mission. At the moment, the next opportunity opens up in . Updates will be shared on CSA social media.
IMPORTANT: There could be multiple launch attempts. Launches are complex, especially this one: it's the first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years, and the first time that the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft will be used for a crewed mission. Also, launches are dependent on weather conditions.
IMPORTANT: Depending on the date, the launch might happen in the evening or late at night – but trust us, it's totally worth staying up for! Opportunities like this don't come around often. If you can't organize an event at the time of the launch, we encourage you to celebrate the next morning or at another time.
